SESSION DATES: TUESDAYS - AUGUST 18, 25, & SEPTEMBER 1 · 10:00-11:00 AM
Please note that this is a 3-part series and it is intended for participants to attend all three sessions to receive all of the content.

Living in a time of unprecedented chaos increases demand for effective leaders. Join Christopher Harben, D.S.L. of Penn State Behrend, to learn about what makes an effective leader and how to hone those skills for yourself. Attend this session if you're interested in developing your leadership skills (whether you're already a leader or not)!

Session 1 (August 18th): Motivation Theories
In order to effectively lead people—in a way that people WANT to follow—a substantial understanding of motivation is essential. “When I WANT to, I do better than when I HAVE to…” This first day sets the stage for the rest of the workshop. In fact, after Day 1, you will already be a better and more effective leader.

Session 2 (August 25th): Change Theory and Bias
The next level of understanding that leads to greater leadership ability is the understanding of how and why people change. One of the most difficult things a leader has to do is get people to do something that is either something they aren’t already doing, haven’t thought about doing, or don’t want to do. A leader who cannot get people to pull in the same direction, is not effective. After session two, you will notice people at different stages of change and that will help you get more accomplished in your team.

Session 3 (September 1): GROW Model
This series culminates in a process that can be immediately used to improve your leadership skill no matter what your personality type. Many of you may have experienced Myers Briggs or DISC assessments. But unless those are implemented into the entire culture of the organization, they are typically ineffective at driving any individual leadership skill growth.
